A week had gone by with Jisoo having rejoined the 'cyber spiders' squad (that's what Kyungsoo had named his employees as) and Taehyung being all tetchy due to the lack of his human's presence in the suffocatingly large house. In no ways was he being unreasonable though, the tawny haired was barely at home. After her morning shift, she would rush to the local library to work on her once forgotten research project, which was the sole reason she'd moved to the countryside.
So the alien definitely felt lonely and kind of abandoned by his human.
For the past one week, he had been trying to get Jisoo to spend some time with him but to no avail. She would stuff her tote bag (on which Taehyung had drawn strawberries the other day and if Jisoo was mad about it, she didn't voice it out) with all sorts of stationeries and files and would leave with a yell of 'behave while I'm gone', only to return around ten which is the slumber and dreams time for Taehyung.
And he wasn't happy with being left all alone to sleep on her couch wearing one of her oversized pullovers. They smelled like vanilla by the way.
So today, he had woken up extra early just to execute his highly complicated plan.
Aim : get Jisoo to watch a movie with him at any cost.
Objective : 1) let her know he was planning on watching a movie tonight.
2) keep sending her texts about how much fun he was having without her.
3) hope she gets jealous and comes running back home.
Foolproof three step concrete scheme with zero funds required. The business major should be proud of him.
As soon as Jisoo woke up, she was greeted with, well a dark glimmering pair of eyes. Staring at her with crinkles on its side. It would have melted her heart if only she hadn't been so surprised.
"HOLY SHI- Taehyung what the fuck were you trying to do!" Jisoo placed a hand over her erratically heaving chest, she was afraid he could hear how loud her heartbeat had gotten. The alien sheepishly scooted a little away and smiled up at her with a glint of mischief, which was very very concerning.
"I'm gonna watch a movie tonight."
"Okay and what does it have to do with you hovering over my face like a creep?" Taehyung burst into a series of defensive explanations, how he was just trying to wake her up using his telepathic nonsense. Jisoo knew better than to fall for that one.
He maybe left out the main reason which was that she looked adorable while whistling through her nose.
"So Dalgom is gonna be my movie buddy and-and we're gonna enjoy so much" A pang of guilt struck Jisoo as she understood what this entire babbling was about. In all honesty she was just trying to get her work done as she wasn't anywhere near finishing it. And her stay here was accounting to almost nine months. So the tawny haired had to pull her socks up and work on the Jisoo forsaken project.
It was also a great excuse to not stay at home and entertain those funny feelings she'd been having for the cute alien in front of her. She was never good with expressing them, that always ended up in some or the other tragedy.
She didn't want to remember Taehyung anything like a tragedy. He was honestly the most loveable character she'd ever had the luck to encounter.
"Ji-soo-yaaaa are you even listening?" The alien whined, putting a stop to her spacing out session. She looked at him for a while, he was wearing a set of fluffy pajamas, the ones he'd stolen from her closet, and mindlessly wondered about how much more the black suited him than it ever did on her. Although a little tight around the biceps, he looked like a fairly happy bear.
Her bear- no no no, these surging thoughts again?! She couldn't possibly confess and ruin everything between them.
What even was between them?

Returning home to the sight of Taehyung lounging on the couch with Dalgom sleeping on his chest made Jisoo coo sub consciously. She had decided to come back early due to her guilt overpowering her rational decision to distance herself from the ever bubbly alien. It seemed like he hadn't picked up on her arrival, which was unusual, and so she went about the couch to inspect the scene herself.
Oh lord, he was asleep like an angel. His brown locks spread like a halo around his head and his sweet snoring although almost inaudible, echoing through Jisoo's head. Howl's moving castle long forgotten was still playing on the screen in front and so, forcefully tearing her eyes off the sleeping angel on the settee , Jisoo walked towards the front the turn the device off.
The business major's ears didn't pick up on the other creeping up behind her.
"Well hello there!" Jisoo screamed in shock at the sudden voice. She thought about how she would have to renew her health insurance because if this continued, the tawny haired was definitely going to suffer from a cardiac arrest soon enough.
"It's funny how you keep getting surprised, but it's just me!" His eyes beamed, almost disappearing because how wide he was smiling. The extra terrestrial being held Jisoo by her shoulders and showered her with gratefulness, it seemed that her coming home early surprise was very much appreciated by him. Jisoo hadn't meant to let her eyes wander on his face,
And settle on his plump kissable lips. Her brain was definitely short circuiting when she uttered the next few words.
"Can I k-kiss you?" It looked like it took the alien by shock just like her. Taehyung seemed to be out of words, staring at her with wide curious eyes. But what was even more shocking was the implementation of her words initiated by him.
He was red till his neck when he had leaned in, Jisoo closing her eyes on instinct. The first touch was something she could compare to the softness of a rose petal, his lips feeling so light and making her floaty. A hand was resting on her waist as she preened for more touches.
Standing on her tip toes and him lowering his head down, they kissed for the first time. It wasn't rushed, just the perfect pace. With each second, both seemed to be gaining confidence as Jisoo slipped a hand into his nape, tugging the short strands lightly. While he placed his large palm on the small of her back, pressing her flush against himself. Jisoo could feel herself getting deprived of air but that was out of the window, right now all she could focus was on how good it felt kissing him. How calming it was.
Until he bit her lower lip.
The appropriate reaction would be to moan but it was just something she hadn't expected, by the looks of it even Taehyung didn't. Their hands had retreated and both of their breaths staggered. Then after what felt like an eternity, the alien spoke up;
